Like father, like son

His 50-year-old father -- a former three-times African Footballer of the Year and the only African to win the Ballon d'Or in 1995 -- made his name at Monaco from 1988 and enjoyed success with PSG and AC Milan over the next decade. He also played for Chelsea and Manchester City in the English Premier League.

Like his father, Timothy Weah plays centre-forward but as he was born in New York grew up playing in Brooklyn and Queens before joining New York Red Bulls.

He then joined PSG at the under-15's level where insiders say he has gone from strength to strength.
